On Monday 24th of February we went on a trip. It was called outdoor education because we do a lot of outdoor stuff. The first place we went to was Totara Park. We did a lot of activities and the first thing we did was archery. I shot the arrow on the red which is the colour right next to the yellow,and the yellow is the bulls eye.
